The defense holds, the stands shake and USC has its biggest win in years...16 - 10

South Carolina’s defense held firm. The stadium shook. Seriously, it shook.
And USC has its biggest win in years.
USC’s defense just stopped Ole Miss on 4th and 19 a couple defenders getting hands on a long pass, which the Ole Miss receiver then got a hand on but also dropped.
USC’s bench went wild. And a grateful fan base at Williams-Brice Stadium is as excited as I’ve ever seen them.
Their team is about to knock off the No. 4 team in the country.
Here’s how it went down on the Rebels’ final drive:
As the drive started, McCluster got 15 yards on first down. (Why exactly did he only got one touch in the first half?)
After USC stuffed McCluster on 2nd down, Ole Miss tried a receiver screen and got the first down.
Then came the two big plays.
Ole Miss tried the double reverse, with McCluster getting the ball. It looked like the call was for a throw, as a receiver went downfield — but a USC defender didn’t buy it and stuck with him.
That forced McCluster to tuck and run, and Darian Stewart leveled him at the 35.
On third down, Matthews came around from behind and decked Snead for a short sack.
Ole Miss called timeout. Wow...The SEC Rocks!
